Lemmings can see you too

Or being able to get nothing as diet/zero because they never replace the non-hfcs BIBs.

Half of restaurants seem to forget what backup is when they get these machines.

When talking about attack drones, historically that has described an unmanned bomber that has significant range and strike capability. These are a strategic asset, operated far back from the front and making big-picture attacks. They replace cruise missiles and manned bombers.

The war in Ukraine has led to the first major deployment of tactical drones. These are relatively short range and operated in the field. Some are simply hobby drones rigged up to be able to drop a grenade, while others are flown straight into a target and explode. This article is talking about the latter, which is basically a replacement for anti-tank missiles.

When compared against a missile you have to have line of sight to guide to the target, a 20km range is a huge step up.

I had a guy contact me about buying a Minecraft account a few months ago. It was an account held by a highschool friend of mine with a three-letter username that is a word, making it incredibly unique.

He identified the now-unmonitored email address associated with it, found that email in leaked logs from a forum, then searched for other hits from the same IP in the same time range. That forum access was from my house, so he found my email associated with it elsewhere.

He successfully identified another friend of ours at the same time. All from a single dynamic IP fifteen years ago.

Wikipedia blocks edits from pretty much all public VPNs and is very harsh with IP bans in general. They do allow edits without accounts though, so they show the IP so that an accountless user can be identified when making multiple edits or posting on the talk page. Hashing it would probably make more sense.

You don't have every line memorized from the greatest film of the year 2000, Finding Forrester?

They teased it yesterday and announced it today. Everything before that was leaks, which have been trickling out for months but accelerated last week.

Similar with The Expanse. There isn't a huge difference, but changes were largely for the better. The authors of the books also wrote the show, so they could polish things while adapting it and know where things were going in the future.

I really hope that the adaptation comes back for the rest of the books at some point. In the final season, they included a short story in the show that occurs at the same time, but is only there to set up the last arc of the series. I didn't get why it was there in the show until I read the later books.

It's sort of like the dual pronunciation of the word 'a' in English. While that has more distinct rules, it's still mostly which one feels nicer.

2/3rds adspace, 1/3 article. Media hasn't changed much...

Fun article. Written in a great voice.

Do you have an example that does first person melee combat well while rolling for accuracy?

The problem with combat in Morrowind is that it simultaneously measures player skill and character skill. Chance-to-hit works when the character does the aiming and gap-closing for you. When you have to handle that with poor depth perception and you have chance-to-hit on top of that, it's always going to feel like garbage.

This is a fun little ride. The related article about the Amiga symbol at the same code point was even better.
